Noted Filmmaker Karan Johar has called-off his plans to organise a premiere of his soon to be released multi-starrer ‘Kabhie Alvida Na Kehna’ .

According to Johar’s film banner Dharma Productions, the filmmaker is in no mood for celebration as Mumbai has seen lot of tragedies in the recent months, including the serial bomb blasts in local trains in which nearly 200 people were killed on July 11.

Karan will now directly release the movie on August 11 without much fanfare and glitz, which is normally associated with big banner Bollywood films.

‘Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna’ has already created much hype , thanks to all the big stars who are working in it. KANK stars Amitabh Bachchan, Shah Rukh Khan, Abhishek Bachchan, Preity Zinta and Rani Mukherjee .

Karan has earlier made blockbusters like ‘Kuch Kuch Hota Hai’, ‘Kabhie Kushi Kabhie Gham’ and ‘Kal Ho Na Ho’. All his earlier films were mushy , romantic movies that could be watched with your family, but KANK deals with extra marital relationships. However, it needs to be seen whether the Indian audience accepts this kind of cinema.
